Seven lessons to learn from the Texas synagogue attack

It has been two days since the hostage crisis in Texas where a gunman took four hostages at a synagogue. He had demanded the release of convicted terrorist Aafia Siddiqui from a nearby federal prison.

The FBI has identified the terrorist as Malik Faisal Akram. Akram, 44, a British subject who hails from Blackburn in the United Kingdom.

Akram was shot dead by the FBI's elite Hostage Rescue Team after the last of the hostages was evacuated from the Congregation Beth Israel Synagogue.

Federal law enforcement source told CNN that Akram had entered the US on a tourist VISA in December 2021 via JFK International Airport in New York. Akram then traveled to Texas where he spent three nights at Union Gospel Mission in Dallas, a homeless shelter, from which he moved in and out multiple times over the course of a week. He eventually left the facility for the last time on January 13.

UK law enforcement has been coordinating with their counterparts in the US, and two teenagers from Manchester, reportedly Akram’s children, have been arrested and quizzed in connection with the incident.

This crisis leaves offers the following lessons to learn:

1. We have a multi tier security system at our shul. It’s bothersome and doesn’t exactly encourage visitors. People need to stop complaining about it.

2. Our rabbi was correct regarding his ruling regarding certain members carrying weapons on Shabbos and our attending training.

There is ONLY one lesson:

Get rid of Joe Biden, who can’t even acknowledge and anti-semitic terrorist attack when it happens right in front of his senile nose.

We have a Marxist demagogue as president of the United States. He is a clear and present danger to the Constitution of the United States. He must be removed.

The FBI said the Temple was just a coincidence and had nothing to do with Jewish....The Rabbi who was hostage said...They're nuts.

So I'd say...Obama is running the FBI behind the scenes...as usual...like the Boston Bombers, Hasan, etc etc...

Haven't heard from LE that dead perp was a Muslim...but from what he spewed...there is no doubt.

"Kill All the Christians and Jews"...

The FBI won't call it an Anti-Semitic attack. They are running cover for the jihadists....again.

This is the same FBI that was not interested in Hunter Biden's laptop, Hillary's emails, etc.

This is the same FBI who said that a Bernie Sanders campaign worker that asked if the men playing softball were Republicans before shooting them (almost killing one) was not politically motivated.

The FBI is about to be reorganized. It will take a few years but their political activities are about to be suspended and then terminated by futiure AG Durham.

Besides getting rid of Joe Biden, his White House Staff should be replaced because they are the same individuals who were selected to advise Obozo. In other words Obozo is still running the Country.

The Lesson is hit the Terrorist with a Chair and run. A 70 person FBI SWAT team that flew in for the rescue did JACK SQUAT.

Even better than a chair, a concealed handgun.

The FBI should be completely burned down, and the ground salted. They have never been much more than a domestic secret police. Ever.

“”Akram was shot dead by the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team after the last of the hostages was evacuated from the Congregation Beth Israel Synagogue.””

They were not evacuated, released or saved by the FBI. They threw a chair at the gunman and made a run for the door while the FBI was standing around outside. Video and statements from the hostages prove that was a lie. They escaped!

Agreed.

And Putin is about to bend Obungo over once again and give him a royal cornholing, just like Putin did by annexing Crimea on Feb. 27th 2014.

Obungo is not in the same league. President Trump is.

100% correct. The jihadhi must have been taking a lek or having a sh*t.

And the FBI did not have to execute the jihadhi, all they had to do was wait him out but they doid not want him interrogated or debriefed by the Texas State Police. He likely held too many FBI secrets as an FBI operative.So they executed him.

the FBI are very dirty ba$tards. The jihadi was of use to the FBI only as long as he had Jews that he could kill.Wituot hostages, sitting all alone in that synogogue, the FBI killed him so he would not be interrogated on the record.

So now we do not have the intel to roll up his network because the jihadi is dead.

Very bad way to operate. And so the assault iin Jews in America will continue, thanlks to the FBI.So it is obvious that Biden.Obungo third term, want the persecution of Jews in America to continue.

Every synogogue in America should be armed to the teeth, with a bomb squad on short notice call, with a resident bomb sniffer dog in the building.

You are sure putting a lot of hope in Durham.

Before we anoint him AG, I need to see some real perp walks with serious jail time for a whole bunch of fbidoj idiots doing the walking.

If that happens, then I'm with you, and Trump can appoint Durham as AG...he has to be better than jeffy or the fat bag pipe player.
